Notes:

Depending on the responsibilities of the person, training may vary from the minimum shown in the table.

The categories of personnel identified in the table are not all encompassing. Personnel employed by or interacting with the aviation industry in areas such as passenger and cargo reservation centres, and engineering and maintenance, except when acting in a capacity identified in the table, should be provided with dangerous goods training in accordance with paragraph 1.5.

As a rule of thumb, full training is required by anyone who classifies Dangerous Goods for shipment, decides on packaging and labelling, prepares the Shipper’s documentation or completes acceptance checks prior to carriage.
